A substrate spawner, which may use caves. The male looks after the eggs.

Comments:

An unusual looking puffer, which due to its 'hide and wait' ambush tactics, is not generally as active as some of the more commonly kept species.
They are territorial with their own kind, but several can be kept in a spacious tank with plenty of decor, which should only
result in occasional sparring rather than serious aggression. This species is not imported often.
